Fitbit a piece of crap
Has anyone else been suckered into buying one of these piece's of junk? I sat on my butt all day saturday reading a book and it suddenly buzzed to tell me I'd hit my 10,000 step goal!

Recovered Bulimics?
I am putting out a call for help. My son (24) returned home a few weeks ago a full blown bulimic. He says it started a year and a half ago.

Workout tunes?
Greetings MFP friends. I was wondering if you could suggest for me some music to ramp up my workout. I generally listen to Country and it's not the greatest for working out. I live in a remote community so I don't have radio to keep up on the new stuff but I can download from Itunes. Please avoid heavy metal as I can't…

Net Carbs?
Could someone possibly explain the science of net carbs to me? I know the math, subract the fibre. But why should I disregard all those carbs just because there's fibre in it? Also, what does "sugar alcohol" have to do with it? Thanks
